In 2007, an internet phenomenon known as "Rickrolling" began to spread rapidly. Its origins can be traced to 4chan, where there existed previously a fad called "duckrolling": claiming a link has something interesting or amusing in its target thread (on 4chan) but which turns out to be a thread with an initial "duckroll" image; thus, the user has been duped, or "duckrolled", much like a snipe hunt on the Internet. "Rickrolling" consists of the same thing, but routed to Astley's video of "Never Gonna Give You Up".[2] Notable examples of this meme entering the mainstream are Carson Daly's attempts to Rickroll his audience.[3] One hyperlink frequently used is a classic MTV version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" posted on YouTube on November 27, 2006. As of August 8, 2007, the YouTube video had been viewed 2 million times.
A smaller Internet phenomenon came about when a YouTube viewer realized that, when played at half-speed, the vocals of Kylie Minogue's hit "I Should Be So Lucky" bore a startling resemblance to the voice of Rick Astley. Several videos on YouTube emerged highlighting the resemblance between the two. In the time since this strange coincidence was brought to light, Rick himself has acknowledged this phenomenon, adding a few lines of "I Should Be So Lucky" into a recent television performance of "Never Gonna Give You Up."[4]
It should be noted, however, that while the "I Should Be So Lucky" phenomenon has grown thanks to the Internet, TV programs which were contemporary to Astley and Minogue's works in the late 1980s, such as Australia's "Saturday Morning Live" with Jonathan Coleman and Ian Rogerson had also shown the effect of playing Minogue's music at half-speed - in that particular case by using the recordings on vinyl. In effect, the Internet has resurrected an old joke relating to the two performers.
